"Bridesmaids" and "Mike & Molly" star Melissa McCarthy ranked the third on the Forbes' list, earning 23 million dollars.

Chinese actress Bingbing Fan was the only non-American on the list, standing fourth with 21 million dollars in earnings.

Newlywed Jennifer Aniston took the fifth place, earning 16.5 million dollars.

Also in the top 10 were Julia Roberts of 16 million dollars, Angelina Jolie of 15 million dollars, Reese Witherspoon of 15 million dollars, Anne Hathaway of 12 million dollars and Kristen Stewart of 12 million dollars.
